@ 2007/09/13Last November at Phoronix we had featured a preview of the
Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card and after taking off its EMI shield we
had found that this card depended upon the C-Media Oxygen HD CMI8788
audio processor, which at the time was not supported under Linux. Though
support had come in the Open Sound System (OSS) version 4.0 for this
CMI8788 APU. Well, now finally in ALSA 1.0.15 the Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture will support this C-Media audio chip. ALSA 1.0.15-rc1 was
released recently and contains the initial CMI8788 audio driver. In this
article we will be taking a quick look at where this driver stands today
for the Razer Barracuda AC-1 under Linux.
